mewithoutYou - Seven Sisters Lyrics

He made the world a grassy road
Before our bare wandering feet
(He made the world a grassy road)
(Before our bare wandering feet)
And crushed the stones
Into the softest sand between our toes
(And crushed the stones)
(Into the softest sand between our toes)

But we're wondering where to sleep
Oh, clever words on pages turn to fragments
Circles, points and lines
They cover them like carpets, with graceful
Meaningless ornamental designs

Come quick, you light that knows no evening
Come, alone to the alone
I have a thousand half-loves well worth leaving for
To take your madness home and you dance inside my chest
Where no on sees you but sometimes I see you

Come quick, you light that knows no evening
Come, alone to the alone
I have a thousand half-loves well worth leaving for
To take your madness home and you dance inside my chest
[Incomprehensible]

Rejoice, the cleansing of my lips, rejoice, salvation of my soul
I still have a thousand half-loves, oh my God
I want to shoot myself just thinking about it
And you think I don't mean what I say?
Well, I mean every word I say

I threw a small stone down
At the reflection of my image in the water
(I threw a small stone down)
(At the reflection of my image in the water)
And it altogether disappeared I burst
As it shattered through me like a bullet through a bottle
And I'm expected to believe that any of this is real
